To be honest I wouldn't suggest doing any tattoos with a homemade tattoo machine. You can pick up a good cheap professional kit off the net, Google it. And as for shading the piece, you may wish to go to your local tattoo shop and ask a few questions and/or watch them. But do not use a homemade machine you will never really get the look your striving to achieve.
Well first off I would never recommend using a homemade tattoo machine. That is so ghetto and unsafe. If you are interested in Tattooing I would recommend a professional Tattoo set. If you are wanting to buy a set I have many extras so just email me and I can give you a price and advice. As far as the ink goes I would recommend moms, eternal, or precision Tattoo ink from Tuscon, AZ. They do sell ink from there website. The main tattoo artist is Dennis dwyer
The needle size does absolutely nothing for a tattoo machine. A needle to a machine is like a brush to the hand. Different tools for different needs. If you want mor information, get an apprenticeship under a skilled tattooist and they can give you more in depth information.

Many factors might affect a person's decision for a tattoo machine. For example, the cost, the quality, the brand, and the shape should be taken into consideration. There are many kinds of tattoo machines such as the liner machine, the shader machine and so on.

This takes a good eye and experience for the tattoo artist. There are not many that can shade in a tattoo. It is an art and very difficult. Coloring in and shading are different. To shade you need to have a place where a light would shine then make shadows where they would be if it was a picture. Takes skill. __________________________________________________________________ I disagree that shading is hard. If you have any artistic tendencies and can visualise where things will be darker and lighter you can shade a tattoo. It's no different to where you would shade if you were drawing the picture on paper. From a technical point of view, you need to adjust your machine to a longer stroke so it doesn't hit as fast, wind the voltage down, and use a wash set up to get your shade variations. There are a few different hand motions you can use to achieve smooth shading, circling usually provides the nicest and smoothest shade. It takes practice to get used to the speed and size of circling needed to achieve the desired shading. Practice a lot on yourself before attempting to shade a tattoo on someone else.
well to do it correctly you have to have a sterilization machine
